According to The Mirror, Everton could sell centre-back Michael Keane at the end of the current season.

Keane, who is valued at £18m by transfermarkt.co.uk, joined Everton from Burnley in last summer’s transfer window, with the Toffees paying £25m to bring the 25-year-old to Goodison Park.

However, it has been reported that Everton boss Sam Allardyce has been unimpressed with the former Manchester United youngster, and would be prepared to sell for the right price when the summer transfer window opens for business.

Everton have been pretty rotten defensively this season, with Keane, Ashley Williams and Phil Jagielka all being criticised.

It appears that the Everton fans are desperate to keep hold of Keane, however, with many reacting negatively to suggestions that the defender, who was so impressive for Burnley during the 2016-17 campaign, could be sold by Allardyce this summer.

A selection of the Twitter reaction to the transfer rumour can be seen below:

Not had the best season but has got the potential to be great. Get rid of jags and Williams. Keep him Holgate and see how funes mori gets on

Premature considering we have 2 CB over 30, one coming back from injury who is shite and another who’s just got injured. Some strong performances lately bar the arsenal game. Wouldn’t cash in just yet.
